Hello, we live in a town in Europe (how about you?) It wasn't common to go barefoot in school so I wore sandals, also when riding the bike, but in summer I was barefoot often in my spare time.
I couldn't go barefoot much during my first office job. At home I didn't see the point of slippers though (we're all barefoot inside the house).
Meanwhile I'm working from home and we have a house with a garden, so I'm barefoot more again.
My daughter is a barefoot enthusiast and I support her in her choice, last winter we had Skinners socks for the coldest days, but she also took a few barefoot steps in the snow and was quite excited about it. She would love to go barefoot all winter, but I'll make sure she doesn't overdo it, frostbitten toes wouldn't be pleasant. She knows well to which point she likes it and when it becomes too cold for her. For now it's not too cold yet.
I want her to grow up happy and healthy, that's more important than being a 100% barefooter, footwear now goes with gloves, scarf and wool hat, things to wear only when it's really freezing. Though I admit the idea is appealing and it would be so cute to go out in the snowy park with her bundled up warmly and naked feet peeking out under cozy winter clothes, leaving her footprints in the powdery snow ... we'll see. Better be cautious than risk painful frost blisters.
